Join us for an unforgettable glacier hike on Sólheimajökull, meaning ''Home of the Sun Glacier'', one of Iceland's famous natural wonders. Located on Iceland’s iconic South Coast, this adventure is for anyone who wants to touch real ice and see the wonders of a glacier firsthand. It is a perfect blend of easy exercise and breathtaking scenery. Your adventure begins at our base in the Sólheimajökull Parking Lot, about a 35-minute drive from the town of Vík. Here, you meet your friendly, certified glacier guide. After a safety briefing and gear-up, you’ll embark on a scenic walk toward the ice, passing a glacier lagoon where blue icebergs float beautifully in the water. Once we step onto the ice, you’ll discover a frozen world of towering ridges and deep blue formations. Our friendly local experts will be right beside you to ensure you feel safe and confident, while they bring the glacier to life with stories of the glacier - how it was formed, how it is changing, and why it is so special to Iceland. We keep our groups small for a more personal experience with plenty of time for questions, making this a top choice for families, couples, and solo travellers.

5.00The tour was great! Daniel, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared many fascinating insights about the area and the glacier. It felt truly special to experience the glacier up close, yet also deeply saddening to witness the effects of global warming on it. Ice climbing was so much fun, we even managed to do two routes, which exceeded my expectations! The hike involved going up and down uneven terrain, so it’s best suited for those who are comfortable with that. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience!

4.00Good afternoon, walking on the glacier. Our guide, Daniel, was nice and gives a lot of explanation. On the other hand, in 3 hours, you can not necessarily go very far on the glacier.
Excellent experience

4.00The walk is pretty good, our guide was very informative. It is easy to hike for a person who has no experience however we did not get to go in the glacier cave formation.

Not worth the money & bad attitude

2.00Not worth the money In my opinion, the tour description is really misleading. Like in: "Explore Iceland’s Sólheimajökull Glacier in the most exciting way possible - ice climbing." or in: "Reach the top and enjoy the stunning views you've earned." No. You dont. You walk up. They secure a rope. You go down a wall and you climb it up again. Then you wait for all 15 participants to have made their turn at the wall. You can have a second try, if you want. After that you walk a loop on the glacier, get to make photos and ealk down again. All in all 5 hours of (mostly) boredom. Now the attidude I got there, wearing a good amount of clothes. I told them, that it would be enough and that i wouldnt be cold. But they insisted me to get more to wear. I gave in, as i understand, they don't want to cancel the whole trip for everyone, because i am too cold to continue. But then Daniel just needed to pinpoint at me in front of the whole group, that i feel like i know the conditions better then the guides. In the next sentense he said, that he didn't bring enough to wear for himself, because the weather prognosis was wrong. The other guide Michael didn't even bring gloves without holes. But then they insisted me to get another jacket, when even i told them i dont need it. I had to take it off after 5 minutes and carry it with me for the rest of the tour. Also the continued to criticize me in front of everyone. But when others did the same thing, they didn't mind.
Kid friendly and it’ll take your breath away!

5.00Went with my two kids, the youngest being nine. The guide was very helpful and accommodating. At times it was hard for my youngest to keep up so the guide had us join him in the front to set the pace, which I think everyone was happy to slow down lol.
